After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

The result of the fight was, naturally, that they ended up pulling each other to see the teacher.

So Xue Fengshi watched the fight with great interest, and after they left, he went to see the complaint from another side road.

"Inspector, this is what happened."

The inspector looked at the student who had complained with a stern expression, and actually...

Eleven people couldn't beat two of them.

Even when told, people don't really believe it.

So, unwilling to give up, he asked Atim, "Do you think what they just said is true?"

"Yes!" Atim.

"..." The inspector was at a loss for words.

Turning to Le Yunjie, he asked, "They said you two damaged the academy's plaque?"

"I just wanted to wipe off the dust, and I accidentally dropped and broke it."

The inspector was stunned; he hadn't been wrongly accused after all.

Then he asked Atim, "Did you eat all the other students' food?"

That's impossible, considering it's food for more than ten people.

"Ah!" Atim didn't find this strange at all.

"Du Xue, I was just about to tell you that your food is too little."

"We're never full after each meal."

Every time!!

The inspector couldn't believe his ears, which meant...

"What?!" the student who had complained protested. "You're still hungry?!"

"Are you two reincarnated starving ghosts?!"

"Even Xiaobao can't eat as much as you guys!"

The inspector roared, "Gengzi Yue! A gentleman breaks off relations without uttering harsh words!"

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old student burst into tears, "Waaah, but the inspectors, they ate Xiaobao!"

"Oh dear, haven't I had meat in a long time? You're a grown man, why are you being so stingy? I'll just give you a whole pig as compensation."

"Is this a pig's business?!"

"Xiao Bao is the academy's most prized possession. He's been here longer than any of us. To put it bluntly, he's the eldest master!"

"You actually killed it!"

Atiemu suddenly realized, "Oh, no wonder the meat was so tough! It was an old sow."

One of the students who complained was so angry that his fingers trembled. "You...you, you're talking nonsense!"

Le Yunjie seized the opportunity instantly, "Look, that's exactly how they were cursing us!"

The inspector stroked his gray beard, trying to find a suitable reason, "Then picking the flowers in the academy, cutting down the bamboo on the back mountain, and the dogs in the academy fighting... were all those things you did?"

"Yes! I want to make some fermented rice wine so that these ignorant guys can have a good taste."

"Hey, who knew they wouldn't appreciate it!"

Atiemu's argument became increasingly reasonable, while Leyunjie chimed in with "Mmm, mmm, that's right."

"Hiss..." However, the inspector and the other students all frowned as if they were earthworms.

"Besides, I just wanted to cut bamboo to make some tables and chairs..."

"Wait a minute," the inspector finally interrupted him, "you should speak Mandarin instead."

"I'm speaking official language!"

“Yes, he’s speaking Mandarin,” Le Yunjie agreed.

Atiemu continued, looking at Shu Bin who was "insulting" him incomprehensibly, "Also, the dogs at the academy are so cowardly. Last time, those guys at the Imperial Academy wrongly accused you of stealing, and those dogs were right outside the dormitory and didn't even bark once."

"This is no dog for guarding the house; it definitely needs to be trained."

The students strained their ears to the last drop, but still couldn't make out what he was saying.

One by one, they even exchanged a few words and unanimously agreed that Atim had called them dogs, saying, "You...you lowly commoners!"

"Exactly, their mouths are full of foul language!"

"Supervisor, aren't you afraid of ruining the academy's reputation by continuing to keep such a person in the academy?"

Atiemu was utterly indignant. "What do you mean by ruining our reputation? We didn't steal, rob, or kidnap anyone!"

The accented and rough tone sounded like sarcasm directed at Shu Bin for stealing to the students.

Shu Bin's eyes immediately turned red. "You've gone too far!"

"My family may be poor, but I conduct myself with integrity and uprightness! I would never do anything petty or despicable!"

Atiemu thought Shubin was saying that expelling him from the academy was a small matter. "Small? This is small?"

"Shut up!" Seeing that the two groups were about to fight again, or more accurately, that the students who had complained were about to get beaten up again, the superintendent quickly shouted to stop them.

But when he actually heard Atem and Leyunjie "curse" others as dogs and "accuse" Shubin of being a thief, he got angry too.

Although Shu Bin is a bit arrogant, his character is absolutely impeccable. How could he possibly use the stuff from those guys at the Imperial Academy?

"You all, apologize to Shu Bin!"

Other students chimed in, "That's right! We all know what kind of person Shu Bin is. You're just making baseless accusations, trying to frame him? Apologize!"

"Yes! Apologize!"

"..." Although he couldn't speak Mandarin well, Atiemu, who could understand others speaking Mandarin, suddenly turned much paler.

Le Yunjie, standing to the side, was immediately disheartened.

They always thought the inspectors were impartial, but they never expected this...

"Ha," Atim sneered.

“My father and mother are right. You people from the capital just look down on us.”

"I shouldn't have come here at all!"

Uh? ? ?

The inspector's old eyes seemed to widen considerably, appearing much younger.

"No, what are you yelling about..."

"Ahem..." Finally, the chief priest, who had been watching the commotion for a while, came out looking like a reclusive master.

Following behind was Xue Fengshi, who had been "forced" by the chief priest to watch the spectacle.

Even though they were furious, the students who had complained quickly bowed deeply to the Chief Priest.

"This is Xue Fengshi, the Censor-in-Chief."

When paying respects to Lord Xue, Xue Fengshi received a slightly higher level of bow than the Chief Minister.

Xue Fengshi returned the greeting with a bow.

Then, looking at Atiemu and Leyunjie, who were sulking on the side, he asked, "What, are you leaving because of a little misunderstanding?"

Atiemu, who was in a fit of anger, hastily bowed, puffed out his beard, glared, and remained silent.

"This student pays respects to the Chancellor... Lord Xue," Le Yun said, hesitatingly performing two bows. The bows were standard, but he seemed very reluctant.

Xue Fengshi and the Chief Priest exchanged a laugh, "Hahahaha..."

They took turns explaining the students' conversation...

"Uh..." After a long while, both the complainant and the defendant were embarrassed.

However, Atiemu, with the carefree and open-minded nature of a Southwesterner, stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Classmate, I'm sorry, please forgive me."

"No, no, no, I was just being too petty and judging others by my own standards."

"No, no, no, it was wrong of me to hit someone."

"No, no, no, it was we who spoke arrogantly first."

......

Young people's tempers come and go quickly; a few words of admonishment are enough for the supervisor to disperse them.

Then, he showed Xue Fengshi the students' usual coursework.

After reading the evaluation, Xue Fengshi had only one thought: "Atemu's calligraphy is really bad."

The inspector stroked his beard and laughed, “But you have to admit that his horsemanship, archery, geomancy, cartography, and surveying are all first-rate.”

"And he is also very courageous," said the wine master as he drank the fermented wine.

"Yes, last time those guys from the Imperial Academy came to cause trouble, it was he and Le Yunjie who resolved it."

"At that time, I was thinking that sometimes, it's useless to reason with others."

Xue Fengshi still had some concerns, "What you said makes sense, but with such a temperament, one is too prone to acting impulsively."

"Then what do you think about adding Shu Bin and Geng Ziyue?"

Xue Fengshi shook his head again, "They're all too young. They're good at doing things, but if it comes to coordinating things between superiors and subordinates, I'm afraid they won't be able to deal with those old hands in officialdom."

"This..." The inspector stroked his beard and pondered silently, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he looked at the chief priest.

"Hmm~ This is really good wine!" The chief priest ignored them and turned his back to the two of them.

Xue Fengshi immediately stood up, walked around to him, and bowed deeply, saying, "This is a matter of national importance; I beg for your help."

After a long silence, the chief priest sighed helplessly.

"Okay, I'll go..."
